If we're relying on a future superintelligence to reconstruct our brains, why not make it a little harder?
There's no reason you couldn't buy a wearable camera that recorded your inputs and outputs, and back everything up to hard disks in HD. Much cheaper to store than a frozen brain. After a few decades of video, there would have to be more than enough data to do the reconstruction. Then, when you die, you just stick the big stack-o-harddrives into a vault and wait for the future AI overlord to find them, scan them, and put them back together into a person again. Boom. Immortality on the cheap.
Wearing a camera and mic at all times is costly in non-monetary ways (e.g., in convenience and signaling).
Some of them are pretty discrete, apparantly. I looked into it, and you can buy bluetooth headsets with cameras built into them.
